Help Me Help You

I really appreciate emails from readers. However as Casefile Clues slowly grows, my time to answer requests for personal research help is becomes greatly diminished. It is not that I do not want to help, it simply is that there is not time for me to do so. I'm trying to keep content in the newsletter fresh, new and engaging and my sources cited and accurate.

I would encourage readers to post their requests for research advice to one of the many genealogy mailing lists or groups online.

Roots-l and Gen-Newbie are good places to post questions. There are quite a few other email lists and message boards. Readers with additional suggestions on where to posts requests for help can post them as a comment to this message--either here on the website or on the Fanpage on Facebook.

Suggestions for article ideas are always welcome either based upon your own research or an item in a previous column that you would like to see expanded, explained further, or researched in another direction. I don't always get time to reply, but emails are read and I always appreciate the help and ideas.
